Event records
If you’re pushing for a record, you can find it below. We included a few notes on the weather and trail conditions when the record was set, to give you a sense of the external factors working for, or against, an event-record holder.
“Event” record instead of “course” record
Why “event record” instead of “course record”? We prefer the former because the actual course of a race tends to undergo small changes from one year to the next. The Hardrock 100 Runner’s Manual captures this concept nicely. The ‘Fact Sheet’, on page 66 of the PDF, shows the difference in course lengths over a three-year period: 100.3 miles (2003), 101.4 miles (2004), and 100.4 miles (2005). With a five-year average finish time of 39:20:17 across all runners, that extra mile makes a difference — a 23:21 difference!

Female — 27:47:37 (2023)
Ginny Robbins of Victor, Idaho cruised to a 28:19:59 finish in 2022. Then, a year later, she took first overall and beat her own course record in an insane time of 27:47:37.
The weather was amazing from start to finish. While temperatures creeped into the high 70s on Saturday afternoon, Ginny and her fellow runners didn’t have to deal with precipitation. Nighttime temperatures were in the low 30s.
The trail was tacky and overgrown in many places. A relatively wet spring stretched the annual “green up” well into the summer, giving ground-level plants more time to grow up. There were also far more stream crossings than prior years because seasonal springs had not yet dried up.
Male — 26:15:35 (2022)
Despite a small mishap with his pacer (and fiancé), Ross Ring-Jarvi arrived in Hoback first in 2022 with a time of 26:15:35.
